Analyses of Sequence Stratigraphy and Environments across Permian—Triassic Boundary in Liaotian, Northwestern Jiangxi Province

Based on the study of lithology, sedimentology and paleontology at the Permian-Triassic boundary in Liaotian, Northwestern Jiangxi Province, the sequence stratigraphy and depositional environments across the boundary are reconstructed. The top part of the Upper Permian Changxing Formation is composed of very thick-bedded ligh-colored dolomitic limestone formed in high deposition rate on carbonate ramp,which indacates a transgression systems tract (TST). The Lower Triassic Qinglong Formation shows continuous deposition with the underlying Upper Permian. The lower member of Qinglong Formation consists of calcareous shale, shelly limestome and dolomitic limestone with abundant bivalves (Claraia sp.) and trace fossills (Chondrites). The calcareous shale at the bottom of Lower Triassic indicates a calm deep water environment to form the condensed section (CS). The shelly limestome and dolomitic limeston with shell fossils, intraclast, algal ooide show clean but turbulent environment of carbonate ramp, which produce the deposition of highstand systems tract (TST).     

Significance of Carbon Isotopes in Carbonate Sequence Stratigraphy—As Exemplified by the Permian System in Southwest China

Based on the research on sequence stratigraphy of the Permian in Southwest China,in conjunction with the carbon isotope data from the typical sections at Ganluo,Sichuan and Tianlin and Masan,Guangxi,the authors suggest that the genetic framework and internal architicture of different sequences possess quite different carbon isotopic characteristics.Therefore ,the following problems can be solved in terms of carbon isotopic values,evolutionary curve patterns and structures of carbonate sequences:(1) to determe the nature of sequence boundary surface and related geological events;(2) to recognize various kinds of sedimentary system tracts;(3) to discuss the internal architicture and genetic framework of the sequences and their evolution;(4) to subdivide and correlate sedimentary sequences on a regional or global scale; and (5)to enhance the resolution of sequence stratigraphic analysis.Stable carbon isotopes have proved themselves to be valid in sequence stratigraphic studies of carbonate rocks,as demonstrated by our results presented in this paper.

Hydrothermal Mobilization and Enrichment of Iron in the Iron Deposits of the Middle—Lower Yangtze Valley District

There are two main types of iron deposits in the Middle-Lower Yangtze Valley district.Both of them underwent post-magmatic hydrothermal processes during ore formation.Iron in the hydrothermal ore bodies was derived largely through mobilization from substantially consolidated diroitic intrusives.Wall-roch alteration zonation indicates that iron-mobilizing hydrothermal fluids evolved in a trend of decreasing alkalinity,which is suggested by regularly distributed wall-rock alterations formed by iron-mobilizing hydrothermal fluids and is in contradiction with the current chloride,chloride complex and bicarbonate models for iron mobilization.The close association of carbonatization with iron ores and the high concentrations of reduced gases such as CO,CH4 and H2 in fluid inclusions suggest that iron is most probably transported in the form of iron carbonyls during post-magmatic hydrothermal processes. In the light of the iron carbonyl mobilization model,explanations are made of the constraints on ores of some geologic factors such as melanocratic alteration,carbonatization,carbonate strata,structural fractures,cyptoexplosive pipes and embryo ores.     

From Basin Black Shales to Platform Carbonate Rocks： A Study on Sequence Stratigraphy for the Lower Cambrian of the Upper-Yangtze Region in South China

In the Upper-Yangtze region,especially in Guizhou Province and its adjacent areas,the Lower Cambrian is well developed and is marked by a succession from black shales of the basin facies to carbonate rocks of the platform facies.The drowning event of the platform occurring at the turn from Sinian to Cambrian resulted in a set of black shales,i.e.the Niutitang Formation,which makes up the bottom part of the Lower Cambrian.With the shoaling of the sedimentary environment,a set of carbonate rocks,i.e.the Qingxudong Formation,was formed in the top part of the Lower Cambrian.Thus,the Lower Cambrian in the study area makes up one second-order sequence that can be further subdivided into five third-order sequences,and forms a regularly cyclic succession of transgression-regression.There is a regularly vertical stacking pattern for the third-order sequences in the second-order sequence.From bottom to top,the succession of the"CS(condensed section) HST(high-stand system tract)"of the third-order sequences is changed into the succession of the"TST(transgressive system tract) CS HST".Correspondingly,the drowning-type sequence boundary is changed into the exposure-type one.Therefore,both the second-order and the third-order sequences have similar sedimentary-facies architectures.A concomitant with these temporal changes, the Lower Cambrian with a thickness of 1000m that contains five third-order sequences is changed into a condensed succession that cannot identify third-order sequences toward the southeast with the deepening of the sedimentary environment.According to the elementary features of the third-order sequences,i.e.the regularity o sedimentary-facies successions in space and the synchronism of sedimentary-environment changes in time,the detailed division of the third-order sequences at main logged sections in different paleogeographical background becomes the basis to establish the sequence-stratigraphic framework that can demonstrate two types of facies-changing surface and two types of diachronism in the stratigraphic records.This sequence-stratigraphic framework shows a growing process of the carbonate platform from the base of the condensed succession formed by black shales of basin facies.Resulting from the rapid transgression at the turn from Sinian to Cambrian the ecological space became open,which formed the antecedent condition of paleogeographical setting for"the Cambrian Biological Explosion".Ultimately,the genetic relationship between the depositional events and the biological-diversity events is very complex and there remain lots of problems that need further research in the future.     

皖南地区二叠纪层序地层研究

以层序地层学理论为基础 ,根据皖南地区二叠系钻孔、测井和露头剖面等资料 ,详细研究了该区二叠纪层序地层及海平面变化 ,划分了沉积层序和沉积体系域 ,探讨了界面性质、层序类型及层序特征。本区二叠系可划分出 2个 级和 4个 级层序。2个 级层序的时限分别对应早二叠世和晚二叠世 ,这与中国南方二叠纪构造旋回盆地变更时限相一致。 4个 级层序分别对应于栖霞阶、茅口阶、龙潭阶和长兴阶。栖霞阶和龙潭阶为 类沉积层序 ,其层序底界为类型 界线不整合 ;茅口阶和长兴阶为 类层序 ,其底界为类型 界线不整合。区内低水位体系域不发育 ,沉积层序基本上由海侵体系域和高水位体系域组成。二叠纪存在四次三级海平面变化周期和二次二级海平面变化周期 ,后者可能与全球海平面升降有关。早二叠世早期的海侵及晚期的海退可能代表大区域性的海平面升降。     

The Source System of Mesozoic Magmatism in Middle and Lower Yangtze Valleys and Adjacent Areas—A Geochemical Tracer Study

The mechanism that controls regional mineralization must be governed by a series of geochemical reactions in relation to the source system of magmatism.In this respect,the geological bodies must have been overprinted by various kinds of tracers in terms of either chemical elements or isotopes.For this reason,the problem may be better approached by treating the lithosphere as a whole with due considerations given to the various tracer elements and isotopes and the various media of the magmatism(magmatic as well as sedimentary rocks).Presented in this paper are the results of this attempt based on a great wealth of available data concerning the source system of Mesozoic magmatism in the Middle and Lower Yangtze Valleys and adjacent areas.

中扬子台地下奥陶统含礁层系层序地层研究

运用露头层序地层学原理与方法，将中扬子台地早奥陶世含礁地层划分为4个Ⅱ型层序，并阐述了各层序的体系域特征和形成的沉积动力学机制以及海平面变化对沉积、生物迁移、生物礁及环境的控制作用。认为在含礁层序形成过程中，存在着4个海平面变化旋回，第一旋回为两河口期早至中期，第二旋回为两河口期晚期至道保湾期早期，第三旋回为道保湾期早至晚期，第四旋回为大湾期早至中期，其中两河口期存在着3个次一级的旋回，第一旋回发生于分乡组二段(鲡粒段)；第二旋回发生于分乡组三段(互层段)；第三旋回发生于分乡组四段(夹层段)；识别出3个平衡型碳酸盐体系和一个滞后型碳酸盐岩沉积体系。研究结果表明，分乡组与红花园组生物礁均形成于高海平面时期。由于海平面变化过程中存在多个次一级的旋回，致使本区生物礁具有厚度和规模小、数量多和分布广等特点。     

上扬子区志留纪层序地层特征

在稳定的上扬子地区,对志留系（439～409Ma）进行了露头层序地层研究,建立了2个二级层序（不完整）和9个三级层序（OS1- OS9）,每个三级层序的时限约3.3Ma, OS1由龙马溪组和香树园组构成。雷家屯组包括2个三级层序。OS4由马脚冲组和溶溪组构成。秀山组和回星哨组构成OS5和OS6层序。OS7位于关底组下部。由关底组上部和妙高组下部组成OS8。OS9由妙高组上部和玉龙寺组构成。OS1和OS7为Ⅰ型层序,其余为Ⅱ型层序。三级层序均发育TST和HST,而缺乏LST和SMST。层序的发育与全球海平面变化有密切关系。加里东运动造成的扬子地台持续上升及差异升降对二级层序的组成具有明显的影响。

杭州上泥盆统西湖组露头层序地层研究

依据露头剖面层序地层的详细研究,将杭州上泥盆统西湖组划分为2个三级层序,其高频变化表现为：海进及低位体系域的粒序变化主要表现为下粗上细的正粒序组构特征,总体表现为自下而上沉积水体由浅变深的退积型旋回;高位体系域自下而上表现为由细变粗的逆粒序组构特征,总体构成下细上粗的向上变浅的进积型旋回。认为构造活动和海平面变化是控制西湖组层序发育演化的主要因素,并将其发育演化分成三个阶段：滨岸相之近滨上部转换为前滨与后滨交替沉积阶段,曲流河之河道与边滩反复沉积阶段,浅海陆棚与近滨下部相间沉积阶段。
